All about the Beat: Why Hip-Hop Can't Save Black America ReviewMcWhorter makes a compelling case for a subject that seems obvious enough only if you are who McWhorter is: one of the world's preeminent linguists. Since he spends all day listening to languages to determine their meaning, why not do the same to hip-hop? And when you take away the beat (which the author claims is the primary draw to it) and the theatrics, what's left is not much. Even today's "conscious" rappers can't seem to fit more than a few sentences of actual message into each song, and the "message" that ends up there isn't much more than an upraised middle finger. Instead of encouraging action through music, the author encourages action through service, work, and education, and all three are more relevant that the political activism that is encouraged by such music. Don't turn it off, but don't rely on it as the be-all, end-all. The author has a very relational, understandable style, and his arguments are fairly tight. Very much worth your time.All about the Beat: Why Hip-Hop Can't Save Black America Overview
